David Whitney explains that the Founding Fathers understood law to be derived from God. In fact, the Founding Fathers formed the Constitution in submission to biblical principles. David Whitney notes that this point becomes obvious when one reads the writings on which the founders based their thinking, such as Blackstone, Locke, and Montesquieu.

The founders spoke of the unchanging benchmark for law. How did we drift from this anchor, this foundation? David Whitney notes that "[t]hough there were many streams that contributed to the change, the major source was the 1859 publication titled, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life."

This, unfortunately, was changed, and the results have been terrible. As the fruit of the change begins to be ever more evident, there is not the expected repentance, but rather there is increased self-righteousness and increased promotion of evil and persecution of righteousness.
